hey nhboy try this one!
French.... Friend or ?
Back when Colin Powell was Sec of State he was being interviewed in
England by a group of international reporters when a French reporter
asked him: "Does America expect to retain control of any of the
territory you have conquered recently?"
Powell slowly responded with: "Yes. We will surely retain control of
some territory. It will be like the territory we retained in France
after World War II. If you will check you will see that we retained an
area of about six feet by three ft for each American lost in France who
is buried there."

Then there was a conference in France where a number of international
engineers were taking part, including French and American.
During a break one of the French engineers came back into the room
saying "Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an
aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What
does he intend to do, bomb them?"
A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly:
"Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several
hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency
electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with
the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce
several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they
carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured
to and from their flight deck.. We have eleven such ships; how many does
France have?"
Once again, dead silence.

A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals
from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies.
At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of
Officers that included personnel from most of those countries.
Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a
French admiral suddenly complained that, 'whereas Europeans learn many
languages, Americans learn only English.' He then asked, 'Why is it
that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than
speaking French?'
Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied 'Maybe it's because the
Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans arranged it so you wouldn't have to
speak German.'
You could have heard a pin drop!!
